- I suggest you put everything on a big power strip and use the switch on
- that strip to control your Amiga.

- I have only three SCSI devices on this A3000.
- I have to apply power to the ReNo CD and to my external box with the
- Maxtor 202 meg drive first, or the A3000 and its internal Maxtor 120 meg
- drive won't boot. But the only SCSI termination is on the 202 meg drive
- ... well, I suspect the ReNo CD has a termination, and I suspect that that
- termination is disconnected if I have another device beyond the ReNo.
- But it really does not matter, 'cause it all works.
